UV ensures low TOC levels
January 1st 2009 Hanovia's medium pressure
UV technology has been
chosen for TOC (total
organic carbon) reduction in
boiler feedwater at the new
Kaeng Khoi 2 power plant in
Saraburi, Thailand.
TOC can cause corrosion
in the boiler systems of
power plants, so its reduction
is essential. Hanovia's
medium pressure UV
systems are specially designed
to achieve extremely high
degrees of TOC reduction.
They achieve this with special
UV lamps that break down
TOCs and other low level
organics in two ways – firstly,
by dissociating their
molecular bonds; and
secondly, by generating
aggressive hydroxyl radicals
from water molecules, which
also break down TOCs. More articles from Hanovia Limited: |
